Elon Musk incoming bid.
Sponsored by Twitter blue.
I wish, but this deal will take awhile to close due to it being publicly traded. Hopefully, it doesn't haggle on too long it messes up the summer window.
I just remembered the Aesop fable "Be careful what you wish for". Were we careful enough 
Having read that I've decided on Julia Koch & family. Just so that when things go tits up, we can say Kochs Out
It’s reported the sale could happen quickly. How quickly, I’m not sure.
We should pool money. I'm chipping in with 0.00001 BTC.
Ugh nevermind then.
This actually sounds promising. Maybe that brit dude will come back...
Yeah, but the requirement is not simply to have a net worth of ~ USD 5 billion or whatever they're asking for it. Because most people with that level of net worth don't actually have it in cash, but rather usually the value of one business that they own (sometimes multiple). To do it reasonably a person would have to have probably USD 20 billion or so in net worth (of which at least USD 5 billion is in cash or can be made to cash easily), and even that would be too much risk concentration in my opinion (some billionaire might disagree). That simply doesn't leave a lot of people.
The Glazers leaving is only half the battle. Fingers crossed they are replaced by competent owners with a focus on bringing the club back to its rightful place.
Welcome to Prime Trafford
No it won’t. The public shares are minority shares. Once the deal is in place anyone holding public shares will be forced to sell them at whatever the agreed price is.
I had ITK for a few weeks once. Itchy as fook
He is rich but not "I own Man UTD" rich.
Quick google search gives a net worth of 25m.
How is the first part true if the second part is true?
You could well be right but what future do we have under the Glazers? There's no PL or CL titles coming here whilst they remain in charge. They just don't get football and how to run a club.
watch it be Mike Ashley.......
I’d be disgusted if Oil Nation washed their blood money by purchasing the club.
On a completely different note, id love for the Sinaloa Cartel to buy us. Hundreds of billions in cash, an annual turn over of 3billion, we’d finally have that intimidation factor back.

Bo to perform in the inaugural game after the sale.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense for an oil rich country to buy us. The only bright side in all that is that they'll probably sack everyone and appoint the best in business at key positions and let them run things.
Norweigans to buy it, Install Ole as President and Ingrid as head of communications
If Glazers sell for £5-6bn, could this be one of the greatest business moves ever?
- Invest £0
- Annual dividends in millions every year for 17 years
- Walk away with £6bn

If we have to state owned maybe we can get Charles to do it...
I reckon consortium with ex players as the face of it. They'll see the backlash Vs Glazer's and try to keep us sweet.
I'm just praying it's somebody likeable, either way. The last however many years have been a struggle with the amount of people I've developed a dislike of at the club. Somebody like MBS and I'd be done.

It's the most likely and logical solution, as much as the majority of us are rightfully against it and dread it, I do see it as the the end game for the Glazers.
That’s what she said….
This is Manchester United
A perspective buyer whould have to put more capital down to buy us. Would have to spend more capital to get our structure correct.
However, we have bigger commercial opportunities.
Or they do what they did with Malaga.
Stupid question.
How is United owned by the Glazers and listed on the stock exchange? Did the Glazers just retain the majority of the shares? Will the new owner only obtain the Glazers shares? Or all of the shares?

Ha! I know its 100% true, but old Sadi choose war with this tweet today.
Why not throw Kim Jong-un in there for good measure.
Utd with no debt and no dividends being taken out puts an extra £100m every year in the coffers for players. That’s huge. That’s before the owner even puts any of their own money in.
Glazers really have drained us!

Would people be okay if we get a gulf state like Bahrain? Or every gulf state is tainted?
Out. That is all
Roman Roy to take over (he may have to sell “The Hearts”)
Bahrain or Kuwait, which do we prefer lads?
To be completely fair, I think that they invested a few hundred millions (initially and in loan refinancing in 2012), the annual dividends have been only since 2014 or so, and they will receive only 68% of that 5-6B (last time I checked, 32% of the shares were in other people hands). Still it is a massive profit for them having done a pretty mediocre job.
It has to be the best deal in sports history.
